Hi, I've been watching  MSFS 2020 videos lately,

and have noticed that when showing outside views it looks like

they are looking through a fish eye lens. I hope this is not how

they should appear. Any ideas on this phenomenon?

Thanks

You can zoom in, but not move the camera distance to the object.

There are all kinds of different camera options in the new sim. Some videos I have seen you can almost compose scenes like using a digital camera with a lot of options, not to mention the Drone camera too, or maybe that's what has all these options. I'll tell you for sure August 18th 🙂

The only complaint where this has come up that I've seen is using an ultra widescreen monitor like 5120x1440 

That's the 'go pro' look which for some bonkers reason a few people prefer, even though it looks bloody awful. Don't worry, it's not compulsory.

He forgot to use the height adjustment correctly.

He did not adjust the height of his position at that time. He did do it later on. From seeing other videos, the user is able to move forward, backward, up, down, right, and left.
